Lighthouses

 

Hook Lighthouse, Ireland

Standing on the rugged Hook Peninsula, located in County Wexford on Ireland’s south coast, Hook Lighthouse is surrounded by unparalleled natural beauty. Built in the 13th century by the knight William Templar to develop the shipping trade, the black-and-white striped tower is one of the oldest lighthouses in the world. It was electrified in 1972 and automated in 1996, and the lighthouse remains fully operational today.
